Rice Dairy (RD), a boutique brokerage firm, has appointed Tom Sandy as the company’s new chief operating officer.

“We’re excited to welcome Tom to our team,” says Brian Rice, one of the principals of RD. “Tom’s past experience within the dairy industry will provide enormous value not only to Rice Dairy, but to our clients as well.”

With more 25 years of experience in the futures industry working primarily for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Sandy was recruited to facilitate the continued growth within RD and guide the company through the evolution of new compliance and regulations in the futures industry.

His appointment will continue to allow for Pete Turk, RD’s other principal and Rice to carry on the mission of the company to arm its clients with the right tools and information for participation in a competitive marketplace.

“I have known Pete and Brian for many years and have watched the two of them build the company to what it is today,” Sandy says. “I am very excited to join the Rice Dairy team and look forward to continuing to be involved in the dairy industry and help nourish its growth.” PD
